h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry if this entry seems a little disjointed, it's because I keep looking over my shoulder for the hideous fate which I'm sure is about to befall me. You see, everything's been going too smoothly today. For instance, look at when I went to book a train ticket home. First of all, I only had to wait five minutes for a bus. This doesn't sound too incredible, the fact that the bus only goes every hour, and I'd turned up at a pretty much random time 'cos I didn't know what time the bus went, you'll see what I mean. Secondly, I didn't have any trouble booking a ticket; now, it's near christmas, it's the end of term, it'd be reasonable to expect all the trains for the next month or so to be booked up- but no. And I even managed to get a route which only involves changing once. So you see, this has left me wondering what kind of horror is coming my way to balance out this luck. Some might say that this luck is to balance out a crappy last couple of weeks, but not I. Cynical? Pessimistic? Paranoid? (A good combination, but not much fun at parties) Possibly. I just get the feeling I'm being set up for a fall. Look at it in terms of Sod's Law, ie. that if something can go wrong, it will; well, today, many things which could easily have gone wrong didn't, so I'm just waiting for something even bigger to go wrong.
